Generally 12 ... Typical nonsense from Eddie!

No, but I had Bet365 take a deposit twice which nearly caused me big problems as it took about 5 days for their computer to bounce it back to me.

Long day at work....






Looking at Delegators race on Sporting Life I noticed this:

13 15 nk Alhaban (IRE) 9-2 T G McLaughlin R Harris 4 100/1
in touch, lost place over 3f out, pushed along 2f out, weakened over 1f out £3500-£1000 (x3) £1750-£500 (x5) £1400-£400 (x2) £1000-£300 (x5) £1800-£600

Won its debut an auction race then finished 2nd to Mastercraftsman in a group 2 then done nothing in the next three races. Hadn't had a race for two years, at 100/1 surely there must have been some noises about it for that sort of money to be on

The idiots.

Stan James - I've made 2 withdrawls - small ones, not hit my bank account after 14 working days. They're chasing it up for me and giving me an ARN to chase up with the bank to see where its gone.

Someone's useless in the bank as SJ haven't done much wrong as far as i can see.

They've put the bets under the wrong horse Andy - £3500-1000 would mean the horse showed 5/2 at some point which he didn't. More likely these are the bets recorded on Delegator

2.15 Ayr - Definitely @ 11/2

Also on Libranno @ 11/4 in the Mill Reef at Newbury

Noverre To Go 25/1 and Castles In The Air 50/1 both E/W in the Gold Cup

Anyone got any Ante Post bets for the next few months and next year?

Kauto Star @ 9/4 for King George VI Chase is tempting me.

Got Cue Card @ 10/1 E/W for Supreme Novices - won the bumper in a way that was maybe more is impressive then Dunguib 12 months earlier and was only its 2nd race if I wait for it to jump a hurdle then 10/1 will be well gone like Dunguib so taken the the chance, speaking of which I have that at 6/1 for Champion Hurdle after thinking it would romp last years Novice



Makfi for Breeders Cup Mile @ 5/1

Makfi for QEII next Saturday @ 4/1 and 5/1 stupid prices as long as he goes just got to sweat on it this week meeting no problems, more than a match for Canford Cliffs and if he's 2/1 or more on the day I might back it again as on what its done I think it should be bigger then 15/8

Ajaan each-way at 10's, 3-30 Headquarters.

Money around for it last time at Haydock.
Anchored out the back and never got into the race although running on late.
HRAC must think there's another race in him or he'd have been put out to grass.

Ayr 4.30

Kirklees 7/2

Yard inform and is getting horses winning after big break, Frankie on the other runner but this is a class Group horse on its day over this distance.

Newmarket 4.40

Power Series 7/1 E/W

Has ran well behind very good handicap horses while giving weight away, London Stripe, Sea Lord and Dandino have all gone onto better things two of which are now rated 113 and 115 an Gosden's yard couldn't be in better form.

Must be, as there is no money underneath Delegator on the result.



Didn't realise the money figures (i.e. 3500-1000) were referring to certain prices.

I fancy Victoire De Lynphar and Hawkeyethenoo in the Ayr Gold Cup. Going to have a look through the RP now and see what else is on.

Deposited a tenner to play with on the Gold Cup and went with:

2.50 EW on Hawkeyethenoo @ 9/1, 1.25 EW on Victoire De Lynphar @ 8/1, 1.25 EW on Redford @ 16/1


Reasoning.

Hawkeye has always been well thought of by Goldie, has ran very well all year and perhaps unlucky not to win at Epsom as well (trouble in running). Had this race target for a long time, last time at York will have him spot on (best not to read into anything of the Hamilton race where he was never in a dangerous position)

Victoire De Lynphar purely because of the info on here, and his trainers record in the race.

Redford is another Dandy Nicholls horse, no doubting he is a horse with a lot of unfilled potential. Couldn't be in better hands going for such a race and done well in the race last year on the wrong side of the track.

Yeah it refers to the bets struck on-course (and sometimes in the shops too), for example:

£1100 - £400 (x3) would £400 @ 11/4 three times.

£3,500 - £1,000 would be £1,000 @ 7/2

Cheers mate, I just thought it was informing of large amounts of money without any odds indication.

It's particularly fun looking through the big bets at Cheltenham, Aintree, Royal Ascot etc.

Libranno has had some hard races and looked tired in the ground in France last time. Was only a late decision he was definitely running with stable main hope Strong Suit being kept for another race.

Crown Prosecutor has looked very smart, with Meehan taking the responsibility for the horses flop last time out (didn't stay the extra furlong). Back down in trip today, the yard usually enjoys its best form at this time of year, and Meehan reckons he has 'a great chance'.

Easy Ticket at Newbury 2.00, and Counsel of Constance, Listowel 1.55.

Got told they reckon Crown Prosecutor is a Group 1 horse am on Libranno though because it was so impressive at Goodwood.

Done a couple more which I have put onto

Redford 16/1 E/W in Gold Cup and Brittain's 2yo Madawi in the 2.55 at Newmarket 10/1 E/W

Funny you should say that get on sporting life videos of races for Redford and watch Frankies ride on it at HQ.....

Furlong shorter today, could run a very big race.

Will have a very big chance if he lets it.

Had 3 quid on the one at Listowel, was 4th, didn't really pick up, one paced.

6 on Easy Ticket. Third to what looked a very useful horse for the Hannon team. Lost second on the line but when Mullen seen he had no chance with the winner he eased off a bit.

Pittoni @ 5/2 in the last at Listowel won well in Grade hurdles early this year and won on the flat easily after a break last year.

I really like Rimth 2.45 Ayr today.

Each way ...

Forte Dei Marmi 3.05 Newbury
Jonny Mudball 3.20 Ayr
Kayf Aramis 3.30 Newmarket
Prohibit 3.40 Newbury

So do I, my only bet of the day on the horses, took the 15/8 at Tote, and will happily leave it at that for today.

Onwards and upwards on the football.

Stevenage 6/4 bt Torquay
Chesterfield 5/6 bt Cheltenham
Oxford 4/6 bt Stockport
Queen Of South bt Partick 4/5
St Johnstone bt St Mirren 11/10

Thats the Acca.

Single (nice priced)

Fleetwood Town 3/1 to bt Grimsby Town (Although your more likely to get 5/2 now).

temple meads back to form today

wish it would of done that at york
